I'd also love to get in on the IUI #3 success. Nicker the canadian bank is through Repromed. They have their own private bank as well as ordering in from others such as Xytex. The only thing with them is they don't have many samples for donors if they don't come in donate regularly. (since as you said, no financial compensation in canada) and a lot of the donors seem to qualify for some programme in Quebec where the sperm costs are covered by their health coverage (MUST be nice) so they are often sold out as well. After this IUI we don't have any washed samples left and I think we will be switching sperm banks, i already have a list of 4 profiles i like from Xytex. We technically have one more set of unwashed AI vials left we can do an at home AI with if this IUI doesn't take, but im really hoping after the chemical this cycle that my body is all psyched up and ready to go with a sticky bfp. a girl can dream can't she?

Isela you had one follie at 11.6mm on CD16 right? You never went for another scan until CD20 I assume because the office was closed for Easter weekend?? I am still surprised that you ovulated already... I would have expected a 19-20mm follie today. Perhaps this one disappeared like the other had??

Yes nicker the office was closed for easter, i was hopping for a 19 or 20 follie too today but he said i ovulated of one of the smallest but he said something like in my left ovary were the 11.6 follie was i have blood so idont know what the means......

 

[isela]

isela- i know i need to use the hcg trigger. i only ever once got a pos on an opk and that was the month before i started. since you keep missing ovulation it sounds like it is better idea to be monitored more closely and triggered.

drsquid this month he monitored CD10,CD14,CD20 im so stress at this point...

 

[Nicker]

a girl can dream can't she?

Well I sure have a dream of a on IUI #4. I hope the third one is the charm for you!!

 

[MommyMel]

congrats to all the BFP's, really gives me hope....

to all those with BFN, dont give up, it WILL happen sooner or later,,,

afm > afm > I am schedueled for IUI tomorrow morning at 7.30AM. We did the progress scan on Sunday morning, my LHS has not much going on, only about 1 or 2 small follies of about 6mm... on my RHS is about 6 follies, 2x19mm, 2x16mm, and about 2 small ones,,,,, but now, i hope they have done some growing in the interim , what worries me is that i have developed some thrush, i used cream only yesterday morning and last night, it seemed to of cleared up a bit. i am not going to use it again and hopefully it will clear. My pharmacist said its safe to use while ttc with iui, but not to use it within a 24hr period of the procedure,,,,, and not for a few days (3) after iui....
has anyone had thrush before iui, i dont want to destroy the little chance i have....

baby dust to all........

 

[Tella]

Bastetgrrl > Im trying but it is hard, my hpt's from this morning has also been negative, so I have made peace with the negative. Which I think happened yesterday already and im ready for IVF! Im also gonna take 8-10days bed rest after the transfer to ensure I give bean a proper chance to implant. Gonna rent like a few series that I havent watched and just lie on the coach and watch TV.

mohini > Sorry to hear that AF got you, but keep your head up and try again. It will happen it is just a question of when.

hoping > I don’t have problems with cysts, but im not on clomid either. Keeping my fx'd for you and your send IUI!!!

L4hope > Fx;d you get your bfp in a few days time. Are you holding out till OTD or testing earlier?

Blue eyes > Thanks but unfortunately it wasn’t. Did two this morning and both neg so now just waiting for the oficial blood results than I stop progesterone tonight and onto IVF for us. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts, that this one will work for you and that you will be holding your bundle of joy by next January not starting with more IUI's I wont be to worried, I think the thickness of you lining, extra follies and growth might be the reason they want to see you earlier. but will most probably ask you to come in again on Tuesday next week.

drsquid > hope you start feeling better and you get a bfp none the less.

nicker > I hope you get your bfp in June/July!!!!!!!!!!

wantbabysoon > GL with the decisions, I hope you find peace with whatever you decide. I only did my 3rd iui to see how I responded to injectables and my FS was happy with that as it gives them a lot of insight.

casper > sorry about the bfn, mine has also been negative so im going to IVF!

Froliky > I feel your pain on the progesterone! Im glad you are back, we don’t wanna loose you! Im doing fine, mentally prepared for the IVF route next, so just want AF to come and get going with new meds.

isela > Im so sorry you missed it again Not sure Im taking coQ10 so cant say. But im gonna take all my pills to my doc this coming monday and ask him what should I be drinking and what not with the IVF.

moonhippie > Fx'd for IUI#3 for you!!!!

mommymel > Hope the thrush clears quickly and that you get that bfp in 2 weeks time!!!!!

AFM > All my tests since Sunday has been negative and I have been reading up on the blue dye tests. They are renowned for creating false positives with a thin blue line which is actually the blue from the control line that runs over. I will never ever in my life by blue dyes again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just wish we had FRER's in South Africa, I don’t understand why we have to be so far behind the rest of the world :glowmad:

So this is my plan of action:
Stop progesterone today
AF Saturday
CD3 Scan on Monday and start with meds
Acupuncture on Tuesday
Acupuncture on Thursday
Acupuncture on Saturday
CD9 Scan on Sunday ?????
Acupuncture on Monday
CD11 Scan on Tuesday
Hopefully retrieval on the Thursday the 26th
Fertility Massage on Sunday to get blood flowing
Transfer of my babies on the 1st of May
8-10 days bed rest (literally) Gonna watch lots of series
11 May get my BFP so I can tell my IVF success to everyone!

 

[Tella]

Beta just came back negative as suspected so onto IVF it is for us.

 

[froliky2011]

Sorry Tella!!!!

 

[hoping23]

Tella... How are you finding acupuncture? I'm thinking of going and have been looking into it. I'm curious as to how it's gone so far for you. Do you find it relaxes you? My only concern is adding more costs onto the steps we're already taking.

I'm definitely thinking I need to start doing more things that relax me!

 

[DaisyQ]

Tella, massive hugs. At least IVF has a much higher success rate, and I think it's great you have a plan.

 

[Tella]

Hoping > Im loving it, i find it relaxes me ALOT during this stressful time. I didnt do it with my first IUI and i could immediately pick up the difference between the 1st and the 2nd when i started.

It is very expensive when you go so often. I go 3times a week before O and twice a week after O. But i manage to arrange a better package deal with my lady. But i have a realy angel of a accupuncturist, love her to bits!

[QUOTE=Tella;

L4hope > Fx;d you get your bfp in a few days time. Are you holding out till OTD?

I'm really torn as to what I want to do for a few reasons. My bloodwork is scheduled for next Monday. This weekend I am going to the finger lakes for my friends bachelorette weekend. We will be doing winery tours on Saturday. So for one, if I test and it's bfn, not sure I will bd able to snap out of it for the weekend. But on the otherhand, if I don't test than I will be afraid to drink any wine. What to do??

Tella I'm so sorry tp hear it's officially a bfn. Good luck with your IVF plan. I hope that you will be sharing your story with us soon!!

I'm also curious about those doing acupuncture. Don't know much about it, and also unsure about adding any more additional expenses.

 

[AMP26]

13 dpiui & stillw BFN. I have my Beta scheduled for tomorrow night but I'm preparing for a negative. I'm goon to ask my RE to up my meds for next cycle as I only had one follicle this time and it was on the small side.

 

[Tella]

Thanks Daisy

 

[daydream]

to Tella and AMP. Tella your plan for IVF sounds perfect. Can't wait to follow you along and see you BFP in a month!

AMP - I think that is a good thing to ask. It took injectibles to work for me. Still waiting to see just how well it worked . I'm hoping no more than two implanted even though I had three follicles.

 

[Tella]

Thanks girls, im also very excited about the IVF, i've always had this feeling its gonna take IVF to get my bfp. But now i wonder, some ppl know i did the IUI's but i dont want them to know about the IVF, do you think i must say im doing another IUI or just say im on a Break and when i get a bfp then just keep quite about how. And if someone asks just say it happened? But then i run the risk of hearing "see you should have just relaxed, and it would have happened earlier" speech, and im not good at just listening to it. I find the ignorance some people have when it comes to TTC annoying beyond belief!

 

[froliky2011]

Tella - Maybe think about it for a while. The thing is, the more silent people are about infertility etc. the longer other people will stay ignorant. The only way to broaden their horizons is to educate them. Do what you're comfortable with. I know it's not easy and being private during times like these is important.

 

[daydream]

Tella - I'd always envisioned if I had to do IVF telling people just because it is more invasive and I thought I would need more support during that time. But whatever makes you more comfortable is what is best for you.

 

[AMP26]

Tella: you will have to decide what your comfort level is. Personally all of my co-workers know what is going on with me but some of my closest friends do not! My own mother used the "relax" line on me over Easter dinner which led to a huge argument. I do feel it's important to speak up about what we are all going through, but I understand the difficulty as well... It's all just so personal!

Daydream: I can't wait until your ultrasound! Twins would be fun!!
